Rayana Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no no no
Uh uh uh no uh no no da da do da do
I wanna mac in the back of a stack Cadillac and roll through the hood
I'll be a bad motherfucker texting lovers undercover like "baby what's good"
I mean cooler than a pimp wearing no bib, giving you some game to go and sell it
Cause games not to be told lies
Suns out, it's that mid season
I ain't driving so I am drinking
Look
Showing up that's for no reason
I See them peeking but they ain't tweaking
And that's cool cause we ain't neitha
Alright
I wanna get down like sleepy brown
Real smooth like we used to
Real cool like we used to
Take it back to when we used to
Roll through the city, looking pretty
Like what's up
I wanna get down like sleepy brown
And that's cool real cool we cool
And that's cool real cool we cool
And that's cool real cool we cool
Something like Charday
But it ain't dripping off that big body
But like listening to big boy and andre sippin' oj and Bombay
I mean cooler than a needle in the freezer
Putta in the richa nice to meet ya still
The games not to be told lies
Look, 2 am and we still sippin
Brown and clear, ya we been mixin'
Your hands on me, I can feel them slippin
Alright, my girls texting but I don't listen
Like where you at, think I've gone missin'
But we good, so I ain't trippin'
I wanna get down like sleepy brown
Real smooth like we used to
Real cool like we used to
Take it back to when we used to
Roll through the city, looking pretty
Like what's up
I wanna get down like sleepy brown
And that's cool real cool we cool
And that's cool real cool we cool
And that's cool real cool we cool
Knock on wood, brain
Never say never in the hood, mayne
Knock on wood, brain
Look
Knock on wood, brain
Never say never in the hood, mayne
Knock on wood, brain
I wanna get down like sleepy brown,
Real smooth, real cool, now take me back like when we used to

Alright, my girls texting but I don't listen
Okay, my friends are texting me, but I'm not paying attention
Like where you at, think I've gone missin'
Asking where I am, thinking I'm lost
But we good, so I ain't trippin'
But we're fine, so I'm not bothered
Knock on wood, brain
Expressing hope that something won't happen by knocking on wood
Never say never in the hood, mayne
Don't rule something out happening in the neighborhood
I wanna get down like sleepy brown
I want to relax like Sleepy Brown

And that's cool real cool we cool
And that's fine, we're cool with it
